Re: Authentication (General questions)

Thanks for reply,

'Basic access authentication' is considered today by many as insecure since the password and username is transferred without encryption. In 'Digest access authentication' this information is encrypted and considered as more secure.

I don't know if this is a serious issue in real life, but many forums recommend to stay away from Basic access authentication for security reasons. Instead, Digest access authentication or HTTPS/SSL is recommended.

Michael
